The average worker has about 30 days of sick and vacation time per year after 20 years of service. OMSD's superintendent got 110 days of leave in 2021 alone and turned it into $167,000 in extra pay. He gets to add 5 more days to the total every year.

I spent the day getting up to speed on a topic in South Pasadena. But the most important bit I learned is that the high school students running the @SPHStiger newspaper put out impressive work. I'm retroactively embarrassed for my high school newspaper days.
Reddit Public Access Network is incredibly addicting. Just fllipping through random mostly wholesome streams of people playing live music, making art and just hanging out around the world.
It feels a bit like we're all Simon Pegg getting Cornetto from the shop, completely oblivious to the zombies.

In text messages we obtained, the mayor's wife accused a councilwoman of asking too many questions and not following through with a promise to "keep your mouth shut" in exchange for a house, a monthly stipend and "platinum" health insurance.

Inglewood's mayor accused us and other news outlets of racism for stories questioning the city's finances. Now, we've learned the state controller has been digging into the city's accounting for months. dailybreeze.com/2019/06/21/s…
